Abstract
Disclosed is a method and a system of design component dependency tree normalization through contextual dependency reference. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for retrieval of a dependency tree of a version of a component as a root version of the dependency tree. The method queries the root version and assembles a normalized tree data is assembled by following a set of dependency references. A reference is determined to be drawn to a version of a a sub-component that is a contextual dependency. The assembly includes comparing a threshold value to an edge distance of the version of the sub-component to the root version, and, where the threshold value is exceeded, excluding an identifier of the version of the sub-component from the normalized tree data. One or more workfiles defined in the normalized tree data are retrieved from a file repository to assemble a design workspace.
